"Oh the places you will go!" A peek inside my Watercolor Journal

That is me in that party dress. Actually it was an Easter dress. Notice how the Dr. Seuss poem is all blurred because I took my journal on a little boating trip the other day. The kids were boarding and when my husband did a sharp turn in the boat, a huge wave of many gallons of water came over the bow and landed on my head and in my lap, much to his delight! Of course, he did not get wet - just me and my journal.

Oh the Places you will go!

******Note to myself and others******* Protect your journal in a zip-locked baggie when involved with water sports and you feel compelled to take your journal along, even though you know you won't really have time to work in it.

About Me

Jacqueline
Newbold’s life journey gives her a never-ending source of inspiration to
represent gems of the world in her color-filled paintings.Her watercolor journal has become her
constant companion everywhere she travels. Primarily a watercolor artist, she loves to
explore creative ways to incorporate mixed media into her art. Using a warm and playful color palette,
Jacqueline enjoys capturing a moment in time by painting old weathered words,
dappled sunlight on a field of lavender, or the brilliance of a tropical
beach.She introduces color in the
shadows and sun-drenched areas, which creates a luminous glow in her paintings.
When at home in her studio, the small journal sketches and paintings often
provide the bases for her larger creations.
